Early Coach bags were skillfully made from hearty, full-grain leather that is guaranteed to last many lifetimes. In the 1950’s, Coach manufactured men’s wallets using natural leather that was tanned for the production of baseball gloves. Later, their handbags were also crafted from this same leather - a quality material made specifically for repeated use that only gets more tough, worn-in and beautiful over time. It is colored with a mix of opaque aniline dyes and conditioners to allow for natural creases, pores, scars and grain to remain visible. Often left unlined, the exposed suede interior highlights the simple elegance of vintage Coach bags. The brand manufactured handbags from glove tanned leather with inspiration from their founding designer, Bonnie Cashin, to produce collections offered through the early 2000’s.
